Head these testimonials . " For two years I suffered from a se vpre pain in my right sjile, ami had other troubles caused by a torpid liver and dyspepsia. After giving several medicines a fair trial without a ure, I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I was greatly benefited by the hrst bottle, and after taking five bottles I was com pletely cured." John W. !eioii, 70 Lawrence St., Lowell, Mass. Last May a large carbuncle broke out on my ami. The usual remedies had no effect and I was confined to my bed for eirht weeks. A friend induced ine U try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Los- than thieo . bottles healed the sore. In all my eje-.'.:-e with medicine, I never saw :n ri i Wonderful Results,, Another marked effect of the use of. this medicine was the strengthening of my sight." Mrs. Carrie Adams, Holly Springs, Texas. " I had a dry .scaly humor for years, and suffered terribly; and. as my broth er and sister were similarly afilicted, I presume the malady is hereditary. Last winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fornandina, Fla.,) recommended me to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year. For live mouths I took it daily. I have not had a blemish upon my body for the last three months." T. E. Wiley, Hti Chambers St., New York City. " Last fall and winter I was troubled with a dull, heavy pain in my side. I did not. notice it much at first, but it gradually grew worse until it became almost unbearable. During the latter part of this time, disorders of the stom ach and liver increased my troubles. I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and, after faithfully continuing the use ol this medicine for some months, the pair disappeared and 1 was completely cured." Mrs. Augusta A.

Some nec-il in be planted further apart thai: otheis. Some require deep planing, while others set their tuber? at about the same depth wherever the scid cntting may be put. The old fash ioned peachblow had wide spreading roots, that pretty fully occupied the soil from hill to hill, if planted in rows three ft et apart each va. IL-bt of the newer kinds of potatoes, espec ially of l he rose family, bunch their tubei.s .ill iu a heap, making them easily fin?. With the peachblow it was hard to it!! when all the potatoes belonging to :. bill were secured. If the earth were not piled up conicaliy about the plant, then roots with iarye IiiLl-i.s attached could often be found a loot from the hill, or even in the middle of the rows. The peachblow also usually pet pretty deeply, while the eaily llo.se is apt to besunecalded or greened, no matter how carefully the earth is piled around the hill. In case of rot, the depth at which the tubers naturally set is a matter of much importance. The White Star and other deep setting potatoes do not roWso quickly as those which set at or just beneath the surface. 'I he spores of the disease which cause mt fall from the vines to the tubers, if they are near the top of the ground, and in case of heavy rains they are can ied down to those beneath. Of ten when digging potatoes that were rotting badly, we have found the only sound ones deep down at tho bottom of tho hill. A great difference exists among various sorts of potatoes in with standing excessive moisture. Some are very thin-skinned, or, rather, tender-skinned, and rot easily. Tho late Beauty of Hebron and tho late J lose are specimens of this class. It is said that both these varieties were orig inated by sports, one from tho early rose, and the other from the early lieauty of Hebron. They are very strong, rampant growers, and in dry seasons will yield heavily, but al ways ripen late. So far as our expe rience goes, potatoes that nie equally vigorous and prolific, but which orig inated from the seed ball, are less likely to rot than these two varieties. The Peerless and the White Star came from the seed, and are good keepers, but the Monroe seedlinsr. which much resembles the White Star, and is thought by some to be only a sport, rots pretty badly. Ii grows more vigorously than the White Star, and the cause of its poor keeping qualities may be immaturity, leaving its skin thinner, and more liable to rut) oil" in Handling. Whatever may be the caupe, potatoes that have been kept wet all summer are diOicult to save from rot in the fall. This is espe cially R-ne where tho potato blight came as the tubers were only half grown, and kept them from matur ing. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria SVhen Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.

Commonly called the 'blues,'' generally proceeds from a slusgish Liver. It either causes Dyspepsia, or follows it being both cause and effect. To cure it take Simmons Liver Regulator. "1 was so sick and low spirited I would have given anything to get well ; and if anyone had ensured me the good health produced by using Simmons Liv er Regulator, and charged me a thou sand dollars, I would willingly have paid it in fact, 10,000 would be worth less to me than what it has done for me.

Forty years ago Colonel Seaton, then mayor of the city of Washington, j as was bis custom gave a large dinner party at which I was present. In the course of the fentertainment the im portance of one vote ancl its conse quences and good results was, among other things, the subject of conversa tion, aud Governor Corwin, then United States senator, narrated in his inimitable manner, the following to show, as he said, the bad results as well as the importance of one vole and how a pig, from whom the devil had not been cast out, nearly, in his esti mation, ruined the country, to wit: "In the spring of 1811, at the anuual election in Rhode Island, in one of the towns or precincts the voting between the Federal and Republicans, or Democratic, Peace or War, parties had beeu for years very close, not more than a majority of one or two votes. The polls closed at G o'clock, and a Federal farmer living a mile or so distant from the voting place, having been busy all day, allowing himself just barely time "to reach the polls in the evening. He hurriedly crossed his fields on foot and reaching his last, or division fence, found one of his valuable pigs fast between the planks and stopped to get it out, which he found more difficult than he expected, but he worked with all his strength to pull the pig out, and failing in that tried to pry off a plank from the fence, which, after some time, .he succeeded in do ing, and then started on a run for tho voting place. Just as he got within 100 feet of it the town clock struck G and the polls closed without his vote. Tho result was that a Democrat, or war representative from that town, was elected by one vote. When the general assembly met a few weeks afterward a Democratic, or war, Unit ed States senator was chosen on joint ballot by one majority. In 1812 the declaration of war with England was carried in the United States Senate by one vote. General Jackson was nom inated as a major-general and con firmed by one vote. On January 8, 1815, he commanded the battle of New Or leans, gained a great victory, became a popular military hero, and as his re ward wjis elected and re-elected presi dent of the United States, turned all tho whigs nut of office, removed the deposits, vetoed the National bank bill, and played the devil generally; and all because that pig away up in Rhode Islaud got fast in a plank fence."
